My Last Post from J-pan.

I really don't know what to say at this time. There is so much for me to process. God has taught me so much about Himself, and about myself. I have realized that there are some very deep wounds that I have had for a very long time, that I have never let God heal, and out of those wounds I have come to believe a lot of lies about myself. And this was just in the last couple weeks that I have realized these things. I feel so inadequate to articulate what went on here this summer. I am really going to miss the friendships I have here, especially with Koshi and Shigeo, a couple of guys that I have gotten to know since about the beginning of 2005. It has so difficult to deal with this, since I definitely feel like these 2 months were not nearly enough to develop deep friendships with all the students I have gotten to know, let alone just a couple guys. My love for the students here has grown so immensely as well in the last couple of weeks. Sorry if this is a bit vague, I will try to post one more time after I get back about my trip after I have gotten back to the states. Much love to all of you.

Grace and Peace,
Dustin
